First love ruined me
I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but after my first real relationship ended, it’s like something shifted in how I see everything.
He was my first boyfriend, my first in a lot of ways. And even though I know logically that we broke up for a reason, there’s this feeling I can’t shake… like I won’t ever find someone “better.” Not even better, just… someone who feels the same.
It’s weird because I know there are so many people out there. I know I’m young and life goes on and all that. But emotionally, it feels like I already had my person and lost him. Like what if that was it for me?
I catch myself comparing everyone to him, even when I don’t want to. And no one seems to measure up—not because they’re lacking, but because they’re not Him. And I hate that feeling.
Does this go away? Or do you just learn to live with it?
